Fair point, but I guess the real question is does it stand the test of being popular outside of your own circle of friends and family? If strangers - and I mean strangers, not people you know casually or fanboy it to - can appreciate it, then yeah, you're probably justified. Otherwise it's just really self-praise and the praise of people who know you, which is really no measurement of its quality.

I never barred strangers from enjoying my records, that's ridiculous.

Man, I’ve seen so much great music with under a 1000 listens on Spotify. Has no relation to the value of the music.

You might think that it's unfocused, but I'm just surprised that we're still doing these awards.

Nobody wants free music on the streets anymore.
